    You can use 2 component silicone to make the moulds and then 2 component epoxy resin to make the boats.

    Here is one page in German:

          Hi Peter,

          I bought some of this off John and have had a go, you can get some great results and some really fine details with it, plus, once you have finished, you can just pop it back into some hot water and use it to make a new mould...

          Hope that help...

            Thank's for your help unfortunatly my bank won't allow a cheque and as it will be only a small mould about 7cm long by 3cm wide so i was hoping to find out if there are any different way of making a mould as i am on a very limited budget but thank's again for your help.
